In a recent poll, we asked VAX VacationAccess users what type of adults-only travel they are booking. Several respondents picked the Groups, Party/Nightlife and Spa/Wellness categories, but the most popular answer chosen at 32% was Honeymoons/Anniversaries.  

With so many advisors booking honeymoons, and so many hotels to choose from, we wanted to figure out which resorts are most popular to send honeymoon clients to. In a follow-up poll, we asked, “What’s your favorite resort to send your honeymoon clients to?”

Sandals Resorts took the top spot, followed closely by Secrets Resorts & Spas. Other brands mentioned were Couples, Valentin, El Dorado, Excellence and Iberostar. Some advisors answered with destinations instead of a resort, and among these answers were Maldives, Bahamas, Jamaica and Riviera Maya.

We’ve highlighted five adults-only all-inclusive properties located in either Mexico or the Caribbean that, according to advisors, are ideal for lovebirds celebrating a honeymoon. If you’re in need of some romantic inspiration, check out this list.

Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya

Crystal clear water, a white-sand beach and spacious accommodations await travelers headed to Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya. With nature at the forefront, the property has lush, winding paths for couples to stroll through and plenty of picturesque areas for photo ops. Each room has a private furnished balcony or terrace and a full bathroom with a hot tub for two.

Sandals Grande Antigua

It doesn’t make the “World’s Most Romantic Resort” list year after year for nothing – Sandals Grande Antigua sits on the famous Dickenson Bay and boasts romantic vibes. Honeymooners looking to splurge on their special vacation can opt to book a Mediterranean One Bedroom Butler Villa with Private Pool Sanctuary or Caribbean Honeymoon Butler Rondoval with Private Pool Sanctuary room; the names say it all.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya

A tropical oasis with one of the largest pools in Riviera Maya, Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya checks off all the boxes for a romantic getaway in Mexico. The Onix Honeymoon Room is designed for honeymooners celebrating their special moments, and the property offers a variety of activities for couples to partake in.

One of four Couples Resorts properties in Jamaica, Couples Negril is located on the world-famous Seven Mile Beach, which means honeymooners are met with a relaxed atmosphere and calm, clear water. The resort has options for guests to mix and mingle or relax in private. Whether it’s booking a spa treatment in a treehouse spa or embarking on an excursion around the island, there’s something for everyone during a stay at Couples Negril.

Atelier Playa Mujeres

Inspired by Mexican art and surrounded by natural landscapes, couples can exhale stress and breathe in relaxation when honeymooning at Atelier Playa Mujeres. Luxury is the name of the game here, and despite its size, each guest is pampered with top-notch service. With modern accommodations, an array of dining options and a must-visit spa, honeymooners will depart this property ready to book their next visit.
